[not] polarities

liberation or love?

holding hard lines

or being flexible
patient
understanding?


hardened heart or hope?



 

Integrity

"Anger and tenderness: my selves.
And now I can believe they breathe in me
as angels, not polarities.
Anger and tenderness: the spider's genius
to spin and weave in the same action
from her own body, anywhere--
even from a broken web."

--Adrienne Rich, from her poem "Integrity"

“Feminism requires precisely what patriarchy destroys in women: unimpeachable bravery in confronting male power”

- Andrea Dworkin
